Product Description
Product Description
When con-artist Roy Dillon (John Cusack) is reunited with his estranged con-artist mother Lily (Anjelica Huston), he finds himself caught in the middle of the savage feud which develops between her and his girlfriend Myra (Annette Bening), also a con-artist. Myra is trying to draw Roy into a game where the stakes are much higher than anything he has tried before. This results in a vicious beating. Lily takes exception to this, attempting to persuade Roy to change his ways. But Myra won't be outdone and vows to exact a terrible revenge.
From Amazon.co.uk
Annette Bening twists like a mink on a leash through Stephen Frears' The Grifters, an adaptation of Jim Thompson's novel. This may be the perfect trope for the moral hysteria that coils around a mother, her son and his girlfriend in this slender but highly pleasurable neo-noir. Small in effect and local in scope, the film is about small-fry, attractive, bloodless con-artists who view the world as neatly split between ropers and suckers, grifters and squares. "Grifter's got an irresistible urge to beat a guy that's wise", an old-timer tells Roy (John Cusack). And yet the three characters here--played by Angelica Huston, John Cusack and Bening--only beat the innocent: Lilly (Huston) gigs at the track for a mobster named Bobo, putting wads of cash on long-shot horses to even out the odds. Roy, her son, swindles citizens by dimes and degrees, flashing twenties at bars then paying for his beer with tens. His girlfriend, Myra (Bening), is hustling herself, her salad days as a long-con roper behind her. Theirs is a world of gut punches and smart lines, and the adrenaline these cheats and chisellers live by is palpable onscreen. But a larger canvas? Maybe it's there as a parallel universe. "What do you sell again?" Myra asks Roy, the matchbook salesman. "Self-confidence", he says, a wry allusion to the confidence game all three of them are playing. The movie boasts dazzling turns by Bening, Cusack and, especially, Huston, whose m&eagrave;re-fatale breaks new ground for noir. --Lyall Bush, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Though it's certainly a movie worth seeing, the disc is a real dud. The video transfer is mediocre at best, no better than an upscaled DVD, and there are no extras at all (and this really is a film that will have film buffs eager to see behind the scenes of). Hold off for a re-release in years to come.
A tale of incestual love hiding in a hidden emotional under current, a subterfuge flowing between mother to son. Roy looks like an early Elvis, choosing an older lady, Moira to be his partner. Neither are aware each is on the con. Moira happens to resemble his mother. A menage a trois ensues, when his mother returns back onto the scene, locking them all into a death tango, as each manouveres against the other in a will to live.
Jim Thompson jotted down mother son incest from Top-Down before anyone in the therapeutic field, expcept perhaps Stekel, realised it existed. The film follows the ideas inherent in the book, and then adds some flourishes, in particular Moira's scam. Unfortunately the philosphy of child abuse is ditched, as Roy asks the crucial question; why people who are abused go onto abuse others? Carol Robergs life story, the woman from the SS experiments, is also erased and the projections that Lilly and Roy make also disappear. Moira's disintegrating relationship with Cole gets a rework, into something more sanitary.
Central themes seemingly not for ingestion by an American art audience. If they had been included this would have made a very good film, into perhaps the greatest. What is left, after the story has been reworked is a bleak film noir, good acting, sets and atmosphere but the script has had its guts out ripped out. The book deals transcendental themes. An art film audience in the late 20thC is seemingly less literate than a pulp audience of the early 60's.
Returning to the film all the characters work the Grift, long or short cons in the film. Moira also sex works as part of her routine. The film generally follows the book with these insights.Read more ›
"The best reason I can think of is that you scare the hell out of me. I have seen women like you before, baby. You're double-tough and you are sharp as a razor, and you get what you want or else; but you don't make it work forever. Sooner or later the lightning hits, and I'm not gonna be around when it hits you"
1990 was a grand year for neo-noir, of the dozen + titles that came out that year, The Grifters sits atop of the pile. A superlative film noir that boasts class on the page and on both sides of the camera. Set in modern day Los Angeles, the story follows three cynical and sly con artists through a psychological fog of bluff, double bluff, pain, misery, manipulations and shattering developments. That the trio consists of a boyfriend, girlfriend and an estranged mother only darkens the seamy waters still further.
Los Angeles positively bristles with a smouldering atmosphere thanks to the work of Frears, Bernstein and Stapleton. Sexual tension is ripe, Westlake's adaptation doing justice to Thompson's novel, while the three leads - and Pat Hingle in super support - are on fire, bringing complex characters vividly to life as they trawl through the devilishly labyrinthine plot, adding biting humour and shallow savagery into the bargain.
A top draw neo-noir that doesn't cut corners or pull its punches, from the split screen opening salvo to the pitch black finale, The Grifters delivers high quality for neo-noir fans. 9/10
As for the film, it's a sunny noir with a remarkably dark feel. A great film, and on blu-ray at a terrific price!

Masterminds behind cyber weapons Stuxnet and Flame 'collaborated as they developed the computer viruses'
- Security experts say programmers for both viruses shared source code
Destructive: Researchers have found the two cyber weapons are connected
They are two of the most destructive computer viruses ever created, tailor-made for cyber-espionage and capable of wreaking havoc on government systems.
Both Flame and Stuxnet are believed to have been used by the U.S. government to wage online warfare against hostile regimes.
And now it would appear there is a technological connection between the two sets of damaging software.
Online security researchers believe the masterminds behind the programmes collaborated with each other while the viruses were being developed.
Experts say they are '100 per cent' certain that programmers behind both cyber weapons worked together during their creation, even sharing the same source code.
The 'highly sophisticated' Flame virus was identified two weeks ago and is thought to have been tailor-made for cyber-espionage.
However, researchers say they can prove it is connected to the destructive computer worm Stuxnet, which damaged Iran's nuclear programme in 2010.
According to Fox News, Roel Schouwenberg - a senior researcher at Kaspersky Lab - said during a press conference: 'We are now 100 percent sure that the Flame and Stuxnet groups worked together.
'The fact that the Flame group shared their source code with the Stuxnet group shows they cooperated at least once.'
The security firm said while the two viruses were probably developed independently and are built on different platforms they shared pieces of code during their creation.
Flame: The sophisticated virus has been used to spy on computer systems
Alexander Gostev, Kaspersky Lab's chief security expert, told Fox: 'What we have found is very strong evidence that the Stuxnet/Duqu and Flame cyber weapons are connected.'
Experts say Flame bears a 'striking resemblance' to a module discovered in the earlier versions of Stuxnet.
It is thought that two different teams worked on the programmes but collaborated from time to time, the firm added.
Security experts have suspected links among Flame, Stuxnet and Duqu - another piece of malicious software that was discovered last year - but Kaspersky Lab is the first to say it found hard evidence.
Other private security companies were also racing to uncover the secrets of Flame and will soon weigh in on Kaspersky's latest findings.
If the U.S. is proven to be a force behind Flame, it would confirm the country that invented the internet is involved in cyber espionage - something for which it has criticised China, Russia and other nations.
A Pentagon report last year that outlined the still-evolving U.S. cyber strategy said economic espionage could prove the greatest threat to America's long-term interests, pointing to thefts of industrial and defence secrets via Internet spyware.
'There's a Balkanization of cyberspace that's occurring, and companies need to choose which side they're on,' said Dmitri Alperovich, co-founder of U.S. security firm CrowdStrike.
Collaboration: Experts say they have found evidence that the two programmes shared the same source code
Kaspersky said Flame was developed with a different set of tools than Stuxnet, though it added that its analysis would take many months to reach its final conclusions.
After digging deeper, Kaspersky revealed on Monday that its researchers had identified segments of Flame and a version of Stuxnet released in 2009 that were nearly identical - suggesting the engineers who built the two viruses had access to the same set of source code.
Researchers have been looking for a connection between Stuxnet and Flame because both viruses infected machines by taking advantage of a Windows flaw to launch the 'autorun' feature, and infected personal computers from a small drive inserted via USB slot.
The section of code now cited as connecting the two pieces of malicious software not only concerns that flaw but does so in the same style.
Stuxnet was discovered in 2010 and has been closely scrutinised by the world's smartest cyber sleuths. Yet Flame remained hidden until last month, when a UN agency asked Kaspersky Lab to look for a virus that Iran said had sabotaged its computers, deleting valuable data.
When Kaspersky's team started looking for suspicious files in the Middle East, they found Flame.
Analysts already widely regard Flame as one of the most sophisticated pieces of malicious software ever detected, along with Stuxnet and its data-stealing cousin, Duqu.

In the West, her feast day comes a week after that of St Mary Magdalene because of the old and probably erroneous tradition that Mary Magdalene was the same person as Martha's sister.But at least Martha and Mary both get celebrated somehow. What about poor Lazarus? He deserves our sympathy for being brought back to life by Jesus so as, later, to have to die all over again. What he thought of being brought back to Earth is not recorded. The presence of the incarnate Lord must have made up for the postponement of Heaven, but – where less dramatic circumstances are concerned – we should think of Lazarus when we prepare to make spectacular acts of charity on behalf of people who may not necessarily appreciate our interventions.See the article in the Catholic Encyclopaedia. 2016-07-28T00:00:00Z Sat 30 July http://universalis.com/20160730/ Saturday of week 17 in Ordinary Time, or Saint Peter Chrysologus, Bishop, Doctor , or Saturday memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary Saturday of week 17 in Ordinary Time, or Saint Peter Chrysologus, Bishop, Doctor , or Saturday memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary Invitatory Psalm | Office of Readings | Morning Prayer | Evening Prayer | Night Prayer | Mass(St Peter Chrysologus (380 - 450)) He was born and died in Imola in northern Italy. He was made bishop of Ravenna, the new capital of the Roman Empire, and was responsible for many of the building works there. The name "Chrysologus" means "golden speech", and was given to Peter because he was such a gifted preacher; unfortunately, most of his writings have perished, and only a collection of short sermons remains.(Saturday memorials of the Blessed Virgin Mary) 'On Saturdays in Ordinary Time when there is no obligatory memorial, an optional memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary is allowed.'Saturdays stand out among those days dedicated to the Virgin Mary. These are designated as memorials of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This memorial derives from Carolingian times (9th century), but the reasons for having chosen Saturday for its observance are unknown. While many explanations of this choice have been advanced, none is completely satisfactory from the point of view of the history of popular piety.'Whatever its historical origins may be, today the memorial rightly emphasizes certain values to which contemporary spirituality is more sensitive. It is a remembrance of the maternal example and discipleship of the Blessed Virgin Mary who, strengthened by faith and hope, on that "great Saturday" on which Our Lord lay in the tomb, was the only one of the disciples to hold vigil in expectation of the Lord's resurrection. It is a prelude and introduction to the celebration of Sunday, the weekly memorial of the Resurrection of Christ. It is a sign that the Virgin Mary is continuously present and operative in the life of the Church.'The whole text of the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy can be found on the Vatican web site.Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy (2001), §188

Posted on 09/29/2005 11:57:54 AM PDT by Howlin
Live from the White House at 3:00 P.M. EDT!
I thought there would be an oath especially for members of the court, just like the President has his own oath.
It's Chief Justice of the UNITED STATES.
John Leo and Jay Sekulow wrote:
After two days of intense and wide-ranging testimony, there can be no doubt that Judge John Roberts embraces the judicial philosophy articulated by President George W.Bush in two presidential campaigns and on the occasions where the President announced Judge Robertsâs nomination to be an Associate Justice and then Chief Justice.
Leo and Sekulow noted that during Roberts' hearings, he stated:
Now, judges have to decide hard questions when they come up in the context of a particular case. Thatâs their obligation. But they have to decide those questions according to the rule of law â not their own social preferences, not their policy views, not their personal preferences â according to the rule of law.â
From that and other things that he said, I feel comfortable that Roberts would decide cases based on the Constitution, not on some social agenda.

here is a link that is appropriate
Nah, I just think he doesn't like standing around during the ceremonial BS part. Much more comfortable in a flight suit or a cowboy hat out doing something than just standing there going through the formalities.
Anyone have a video?
I agree...
I agree...
Yes, may God bless him and keep him.
***One of the reasons that FR is so addictive is because we do have wit and share it so well.***
I would be happy to share my wit, but I don't have too many of them..
Thank you for that...
Just got home and had to listen to the ceremony on the radio.....What did little Jack do to make everyone laugh?
Wait a minute. We had high winds in Southeastern Michigan last night and some people lost their power. We need him here.
But don't you remember? He is wasting gas by flying Air Force One all over.
It's not a waste if he's flying to Michigan. We are a Democrat State.
They got an indictment that will be thrown out of court, and we got a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Rumor is that the nomination will be Monday.
Condi has a big speech on Iraq tomorrow and the generals are going on the Sunday talk shows to talk about Iraq.
Don't want a nomination pick to step all over that.
Yahoo! Great day for this country!
Joe Farah and the WORLDNUTDAILY loons are gonna be pi$$ed :)
Reading the thread headline just brought a smile to my face!!!!
gee, thanks, Howlin ... seeing the headline brought a HUGE smile to my face .. then your post drew a few tears. But this IS a great for the US Constitution, and I'm sure Rehnquist is smiling down on all of us, especially his successor. This is just further proof of the widsom of our Founders and our system of government ... peaceful transition of power at all levels and branches of government (Biden, et al. notwithstanding)
"...no shortage of hypocrisy in Washington.."
in fairness, the challenge to "UnderGod" came out of California and was supported by a Carter appointed federal judge on the 9th Circuit ... it hasn't gotten back up to "Washington" yet ... it's still California's baby.
Sorry kempster, we have two pot holes across town, he has to have priorities!
What a great day. It is wonderful to say the words Chief Justice Roberts, after he withstood grilling by the most unethical, loathsome and immoral leaders in this country, Kennedy for example.
Let us hope God continues to grant wisdom and clarity to President Bush and Chief Justice Roberts.
I am glad that Roberts was approved and sworn in as Chief Justice. I have high hopes for him. It will be interesting to settle back now, and watch his decisions come down.
I love the way Jack points and laughs at Harry Reid crying in the left wing of the room.
Imagine what 2 appointments Kerry would have made...
Bush should nominate Roberts wife. How cool would that be? A husband and wife on the court. Pro-lifers at that.
The oaths for everyone except the President are pretty much the same.
Thanks for the heads up on that!
Super!! We are on our way.. a very unique time and opportunity for our President to put America back on track..and he is doing it!!
LOL, just checked the voting record, and anyone that knows who the key rats are, could have made a killing if they had bet on which Senator's would vote nay. The rats are totaly predictable AND a blight on America. Thank God they are also LOSERS!!
If this is too small, what's the html to make it bigger...? Thanks.
I think I might have heard little Jack during the CJ speech. That child cracks me up! What a spirit he has!
Ah...some good news. Thanks for the "ping".
I'm wondering if Rhenquist didn't have some input on this.
Maybe this has already been discussed and I missed it,
but that seems reasonable.
"Yet, there are some here who worry that Roberts might be another Souter."
This Rat nay voting list reads like the who's who of anti-American Socialist Liberal pond scum. If anyone has doubts about Roberts then this list of key Rat nay sayers should put you at ease.

Me, I'd like to see Bork. (With no worry about the 2nd amend.). Just to give "The swimmer" a coronary.
Thanks for those pics. I'll bet he keeps the Roberts' very busy! Too funny! I have a Jack of my own(5 yrs old), don't think he's quite as boisterous as Jack Roberts! :)
Man - that would take the cake ...
If this is too small, what's the html to make it bigger...? Thanks.
Guess that depends
on how you want it bigger, eh?
Or did you want
? ? ?
(Check the 'View - Source' of the image).
The damage that has been done to our country is going to take a major time investment for any real healing to take place.
Stevens is the senior justice though (came on during Ford's administration). Even if Bork had been confirmed, Roberts would still have been in by Stevens in all likelihood.
Now if Rehnquist had not died, and Roberts confirmed for O'Connor's seat, yes, he would have been sworn in by Rehnquist.
ANN COULTER: He's another SOUTER I tell ya!! No, wait, he's another RUTH BADER GISBURG!! No, wait, he's worse than her!!!

Ask the average consumer – at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry – which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant.

HP G71 Laptop will not power on at all - Help Please !
I have a HP G71 Notebook, it is only about 2 years old and I use it only at home. Now It won't turn on at all.
For months now, I used to get a warning that my battery may need to be replaced. The battery would only last about 10 minutes before I had to plug in the charger.
Yesterday, I turned the computer on but it did not load up. All I got was a blank screen with a small line near the top left corner and so I plugged in the charger thinking it was low on battery or something. But nothing happened so I pressed CTRL + ALT + DEL, but it wouldnt restart. So I pressed the power button but nothing happened again, so I disconnected the charger and closed the laptop.
The laptop eventually powered down. I plugged the charger back in and pressed the power button again but nothing.
I then tried a hard reset (removing battery and charger, holding power button down for 30 seconds) but that didn't work either. What happens is with no battery inserted, the light by the charger turns on solid for about 5 seconds, then turns off. With the battery inserted, I get no light by the charger at all.
At no time did any of the lights go on to the left of the touch pad.
I got important data and I need my computer working again.
I am thinking if it was simply a bad charger, then the light by the charger should not have gone on at all (even though it was for only 5 seconds) And why does it not come on at all when the battery is inserted.
Any thoughts? What should I do to next? I am stuck.
Thanks very much.
Re: HP G71 Laptop will not power on at all - Help Please !
First of all, sorry to hear about the issue that you are facing.
I dont think that you have any issues with the AC adapter because there is a light that comes up at the AC adapter port. Just to make things clear, see if you can get an alternate HP AC Adapter from Someone and see if that works.
If you are really good with computers, I would recommend you to reset the Hard drive, RAM and the Optical Drive.Sometimes, it could be an issue with some of these components. By doing this we can rule out if its a components failure or an issue with the motherboard. I am just praying that this shouldnt be an issue with the motherboard.
When you reply back let me know the product number of this computer or the complete model number. Let me know the results after you do this.
I will be waiting for your reply

Re: HP G71 Laptop will not power on at all - Help Please !
Thank you very much for your reply.
Sorry, I do not know how to do those resets, but I would not want to reset the hard drive if that meant it would erase all my data. All I did was the hard reset by unplugging everything, taking the battery out and holding down the power button.
For months, I used to get a warning that my battery may need to be replaced. The battery would only last about 10 minutes before I had to plug in the charger. Could it be simply something such as the battery has failed?
Does this computer require a battery inserted to power on even if the ac adapter is plugged in?
My computer is G71-430CA (I think this was identical to the US model, G71-340US)

Re: HP G71 Laptop will not power on at all - Help Please !
There would have been a case where the battery is defective but to confirm that you can run a test on the computer and see. But as of now the issue is that the computer will not turn on
If it was just an issue with the battery, the computer would have turned on only with the AC Adapter. Try a different AC Adapter on the computer, if you can arrange one. This could give us a clearer picture of the issue.
Reseating the HDD on the computer will not erase the data on the HDD. I can provide you a suggestion to get the data backed up.
From the stores you can purchase a Hard drive case and remove the Hard drive from the computer and use the case to connect this Hard drive to another computer using the USB cable. You will be able access the data and you can do a backup of the data as well. This Hard drive case will not cost you much.
Try doing the reset of the Components that I was talking about. Let me know if you can do this.

Re: HP G71 Laptop will not power on at all - Help Please !
I had the AC adapter checked and it is fine.
I also went to a store where they placed in a new AC adapter and tried to power on without the battery. Same problem. Only the light by the AC adapter went on for about 5-10 seconds and then it went off. The LED light by the touch pad did not turn on at all.
I don't know how to do a reset of the RAM, hard drive or optical drive.
I have removed the hard drive and bought that case to transfer my data. Thank you for that tip.
Any further thoughts? And are you sure that the laptop does not need a battery to power on when using an AC adapter?
Re: HP G71 Laptop will not power on at all - Help Please !
As of now it looks like an issue with the motherboard of the computer. If the computer is in warranty get in touch with the HP service center. They will fix the issue for you.
If out of warranty, get in touch with some local technicians and they might help you with fixing the motherboard.

Re: HP G71 Laptop will not power on at all - Help Please !
I have a hp model G71 - 449VWM. and the cord went on it and i bought another one brand new for 60.00. the light lights up beside the plug to put the power plug on lap top so i know its getrting power. but it won`t power up . no lights. i was going to unscrew the back off but i changed my mind and put the screws back in it. now my exturnal drive won`t even open, theirs no light on it the tray flashing even . no give on the button that treleases the tray. Is there something i could of jammed taking out the screws and putting back in wrong.
or maybe i broke the power button inside, because before the cord broke the plug inside the lap top was very loose. a screw fell out in the corner, then i noticed it and i took a screw from another hole in the bottom of lap top and put it in the hole that was missing a screw to hold the power plug inside tighter like it should of been. maybe i broke power plug inside lap top but that doesn`t explain why the tray wont open. help help...
Re: HP G71 Laptop will not power on at all - Help Please !
Did you ever find out what the issue was and how to fix it? My laptop of the exact same model did this to me today as well.
Black screen with a line in the upper left corner, had to pull the battery to get it to shut down. The battery is junk, last 1 minute at most, so I always have it plugged in. Anyways, tryed holding the power button down for 30 seconds with the AC adapter unplugged, battery removed and it did not work.
With the battery removed, the light at the charge port comes on for 10 seconds when plugged in. With the battery installed, the light does not come on at all when the laptop is plugged in.

The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Humanby V. S. Ramachandran, David Drummond
View All Available Formats & Editions

V. S. Ramachandran is at the forefront of his field-so much so that Richard Dawkins dubbed him the "Marco Polo of neuroscience." Now, in a major new work, Ramachandran sets his sights on the mystery of human uniqueness. Taking us to the frontiers of neurology, he reveals what baffling and extreme case studies can teach us about normal brain function and how it evolved. Synesthesia becomes a window into the brain mechanisms that make some of us more creative than others. And autism-for which Ramachandran opens a new direction for treatment-gives us a glimpse of the aspect of being human that we understand least: self-awareness. Ramachandran tackles the most exciting and controversial topics in neurology with a storyteller's eye for compelling case studies and a researcher's flair for new approaches to age-old questions. Tracing the strange links between neurology and behavior, this book unveils a wealth of clues into the deepest mysteries of the human brain.
Editorial Reviews
Ramachandran (Psychology and Neurosciences/Univ. of California, San Diego; A Brief Tour of Human Consciousness, 2005, etc.) sets his sights on explaining the neuroscience that underlies characteristics he considers unique to humans beings.
The author suggests that some 150,000 years ago, hominid brains underwent a "phase transition" (like water becoming ice), so that some brain centers expanded and developed new functions, leading to language, aesthetics, consciousness and self-awareness. Like Oliver Sacks, Ramachandran finds illumination in the analysis of patients with anomalous syndromes. Thus he begins with studies of phantom limbs and synesthesia, most commonly manifest as the condition in which individuals see specific colors associated with numbers or musical notes. The roster of syndromes grows to include language and memory disorders, cases in which a stroke patient denies the existence of a paralyzed limb, a patient recognizes his mother's face but says she is an impostor, or a patient who believes himself dead. Ramachandran's argues that the lesions in such patients disrupt specific sites in multi-branching pathways that create mismatches between sensory and motor areas, or between emotional and perceptual areas. In turn, the brain adapts, often making matters worse. Early on, the author introduces mirror neurons, which are abundant in human brains. These are cells that mimic the actions of another person as you watch, but are inhibited from executing the action. They are considered the source of empathy or "theory of mind" by which humans can read other's intentions. Ramachandran invokes mirror neurons as essential for social learning, language and cultural transmission. For the most part, the author argues convincingly, except where he defines aesthetic principles, which seem no more than a rehash of old Gestalt ideas. Nor is it certain that all the traits he discusses are unique to humans.
Despite some minor flaws, Ramachandran produces an exhilarating and at times funny text that invites discussion and experimentation.

I have not finished reading this book, but at the 75% moment I can report that if you liked "Phantoms in the Brain", you will like this book. If you are a professional philosopher, you will feel that Ramachandran is encroaching on your field. Too bad for you, and great for the rest of us. At least his propositions may be testable.
I have to read this book for my philosophy and neuroscience class, and I am thoroughly disappointed. Ramachandran spends half of each chapter either repeating what he's already said, complimenting himself on his accomplishments, and going off on tangents. The "stories" are interesting but can be found in much more comprehensive and well-written books. I would not recommend.
I read as much as I can about the brain and Ramachandran's books are among my favorites.

In a wind-whipped setting high above the Schuylkill, officials shook hands Thursday over a plan to link the region's trail system by running a pathway across the old Manayunk railroad bridge, creating a "park in the sky."
"This is a fantastic opportunity we have to personally, economically, and physically unite the city with the suburbs," Mayor Nutter said.
The ceremony at midspan launched a $1.5 million project that when complete - estimated at 18 months from now - will use the bridge as a greenway for hikers, bikers, and joggers.

This was simple paper, not even a card stock. Anyone could have printed this at home with any printing program. I spent $28.53 on this ridiculous banner. You have to punch it out and string it yourself with your own string! It is probably the worst purchase I have ever made.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Elementbox converted[edit]

Apparently molybdenum thiolates are really common. We should have a section in this article on them.
Quodfui (talk) 19:21, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Opening paragraph: "although excess molybdenum can be toxic in some animals". This phrase seems a bit redundant (although appearing in many other articles also) given that too much of any substance is toxic. Maybe a bit pedantic to make the point but if this is a Scientific based article then i'm sure accuracy should be aspired too. N.B The last sentence is not a call for any grammatical errors on my part to be brought to attention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 16:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
The MSDS cited by the article (rembar.com) claims Mo is nontoxic, but the ORNL reference and an MSDS from CERAC (another Mo supplier) both show it's toxic, especially in powdered form. If someone has data to refute these, please Be Bold :-), and also please add an explanation here for the rest of us. The ORNL page can be misleading if you only pick out occasional sentences. Mwistey (talk) 07:35, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
The quoted phrase is actually tautological. Presumably "excess" means "more than is good for you". g4oep — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 21:00, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
Nuclear Isotopic Stability[edit]
Why is Mo100 considered to be one of the "unstable" isotopes if it has a half life of 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 years? That's almost 100 million times longer than the current Universe's elapsed existence (est. 18 billion years)... I quote: "Molybdenum-92 and molybdenum-100 are the only naturally occurring isotopes which are not stable. Molybdenum-100 has a half-life of approximately 1×10^19 y and undergoes double beta decay into ruthenium-100." 184.108.40.206 (talk) 22:24, 17 December 2007 (UTC) Alex Cranson
I think that unstable means that it is radioactive and does decay, it doesn't matter how long the half-life is. 04cah (talk) 03:45, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Quick heads up[edit]
You may observe some sections of the article getting significantly smaller. I'm currently working on getting accurate sourced info for molybdenum, and I've found it's much easier to just rewrite it than try to find sources for each fact. Worry not, any gaps I create will be filled. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 00:26, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Does anybody know if Molybdenium Selenium Sulfide exists? If it did it would have the distinction of spelling out "MoSeS". Because MoS2 and MoSe2 both exist, and because selenium and sulfur have similar chemical properties, I'm thinking that there's a possibility of it actually being real. Anyone care to enlighten me?
- Nah, man. Selenium and molybdenum don't hang out with sulphur when they're together. They're all like "we need alone time, and your valence charge would be totally weird for us right now." --justing magpie 20:20, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry to disappoint you, but such a compound would be MoSSe (if it would exist ..) .. --Dirk Beetstra T C 20:33, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'll give the man a serious answer. Since selenium is one level below sulfur in the Periodic Table, those two elememts have similar chemical properties. Molybdenum will combines with sulfur and it will combine with selenium, too. If you mixed up molybdenium powder with powedered sulfur and powdered selenium, and heated that in an inert atmosphere in a non-reactive container (I'll leave that you for you to pick out the metals for, but a platinum-iridium alloy might be a good one.) you will get a molybdenium compound with selenium and sulfur. It will be in the form of a crystal or an amorphous mass, and within that, the ratio between selenium and sulfur might not necessarily be 1:1. Anyway, even if it was, the MoSeS would be an empirical formula, and not necessarily a molecular formula. But something close to it as an empirical formula would exist.
- Let the numbers in parenthesis in the following be read as subscripts. Then, what you would get would be MoSe(2-x)S(x), where 0 < x < 2. If you carefully chose the ratios of molybdenum, selenium, and sulfur in your container, you might be able to control the value of x. I've hit the limit on my knowledge of this kind of chemistry. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 07:21, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know much about the mining process but is open pit mining safer then it was in the past?
- I'm afraid I'm probably going to spout the company line, here, so take this with a huge grain of salt... I was under the impression that Moly mining was relatively safe, especially as compared to coal mining. Tunnel collapse and equipment accidents abound, but explosions and bad air seem to be less of a problem. The milling, as well, seems to be mostly a mechnical process, and doesn't seem to require the same dangerous chemicals as does, say, gold extraction. Open pit, I should think, is even less dangerous. I have heard tales of people cartwheeling giant DC8 dozers down cliffsides, but otherwise, I didn't hear about too many accidents around the Climax mine. Are these specific hazards you're thinking about? --Mdwyer 00:13, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Molybdenum Oxide (MoO3)seems to be obtained by roasting Moly Sulphide (MoS2). It is also mentioned that it is obtained from Wulfenite (PbMoO4) and Powellite (CaMoO4). Moly Oxide does not seemed to be mined. Does anyone know why not? Does anyone know the process for converting Wulfenite or Powellite to Moly oxide? Martin Essenberg 02:06, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Martin
Should we put something on the article about the pronunciation of 'Molybdenum', since it is a quite strange element name. --Redtitan 23:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Molybdenite is heated with air to temperatures of 700°C during this roasting process the sulfide is turned into the molybdenum(VI) oxide.
2MoS2 + 7O2 → 2MoO3 + 4SO2
For purification the molybdenum oxide is disolved in ammonia forming a ammonium molybdate (NH4MoO4) or the oxide is sublimed.
Most of the produced molybdenum oxide is mixed with iron oxide and melted in an electric discarge oven to get ferromolybdenum which is used for the steel production.
The pure metal is produced by reduction of molybdenum(VI) oxide with hydrogen.
MoO3 + 6H2 → Mo + 6H2O --Stone 14:32, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Sixth or Fourth?[edit]

Molybdenum deprivation[edit]
Molybdenum deprivation stalled the development of life for about 2 billion years: http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/03/evolution-of-li.html http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080326142229.htm -- 126.96.36.199 (talk) 11:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't Molybdenum be in Category:Biology and pharmacology of chemical elements ? Eldin raigmore (talk) 20:45, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Question from a reader...how does a metal burn at 600°C before it melts at 2623°C? would it not melt first then burn? Is this data verified?? (I can't read the cited source on the internet and have long since graduated college and don't have time to look in a library.)
A more detailed answer is: The metal itself does not melt, it burns in the solid state. The heat of combustion vaporizes the oxide. Because of the lower MP (795 °C) and BP (1155 °C) of Molybdenum(VI) oxide (q.v.), the oxide can escape from the combustion region as a vapor (recondensing as a fume) providing an unobstructed surface for the reaction with oxygen to continue. This is similar to the much more extreme example of coal (carbon) which burns in the solid state with the combustion product (CO2) escaping as a vapor (gas). Dpasek (talk) 05:04, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Moved from the main article (commented text, might be unsuitable)[edit]
Supply and demand[edit]
Although current molybdenum production meets demand, refiners, or roasters, are expected to run into a shortfall between 2009 and 2015, depending on demand.[citation needed]
A roaster processes the molybdenum into a fine powder, pellets, or other forms. Total world molybdenum roaster capacity is currently 320 million pounds per year, barely enough to meet demand. There is not much excess roasting capacity, and no one is actively permitting for the production of any new roasters in the United States. Global roaster capacity also looks limited, and a future roaster shortage is predicted. The data above are based on the assumption that mines will be able to increase output.[citation needed]
Western demand is projected to increase by around 3 percent annually, while China and the CIS demand is projected to increase by around 10 percent annually, increasing overall global demand by around 4.5 percent annually. Increasing demand can be attributed to two main factors. Hydroprocessing catalysts are becoming essential for crude oil. The other contributing factor is the increase in nuclear reactor construction. There are 48 nuclear reactors to be built by 2013, and approximately 100 are to be built by 2020. The International Molybdenum Association (IMOA) says that an average reactor contains about 520,000 feet (160,000 m) of stainless steel alloy. Some larger reactors contain over 1 million feet of stainless steel alloy.[citation needed]
expected production of a mine is for me a violation of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a crystal ball 254,000 tons of molybdenum were discovered on Hainan, off the southern coast of China, on 6 October 2008. The mine is expected to produce 7,000 tons of molybdenum annually.[1]

A single crystalline 1 cm3 cube and a crystalline fragment of molybdenum, the latter created by electron beam melting. Molybdenum is a silvery metal that has the sixth-highest melting point of any element. It readily forms hard, stable carbides, and for this reason it is often used in high-strength steel alloys.

Abundance in oceans[edit]
I linked the statement about abundance in the Earth's crust to the corresponding article and went to do the same for the oceanic abundance, but there appears to be a discrepancy.

Atlanta Falcons: Falcons quarterback Michael Vick returned to practice Friday, a day after missing a workout
because of the stomach flu.
"He looked really, really sharp," quarterbacks coach Mike
Johnson said. "We couldn't be happier with his work today."
Vick, selected last month to his second Pro Bowl, skipped a game
two weeks ago at New Orleans because of a bruised shoulder. He
started last week at Seattle and directed two scoring drives in
three possessions.
Atlanta had a 10-point lead late in the second quarter when
coach Jim Mora replaced Vick with rookie Matt Schaub. The Seahawks
won 28-26.
The Falcons (11-5) are off until Jan. 15, when they will face
Green Bay, St. Louis or Seattle in the second round of the NFC
Vick led the NFL with 7.5 yards per carry and rushed for 902
overall, the third-best season for a quarterback.
New York Jets: Jets defensive end John Abraham and receiver
Wayne Chrebet were downgraded to questionable Friday, the day
before their wild-card game against San Diego.
Abraham and Chrebet had been listed as probable all week, but
coach Herman Edwards cast doubt on their situation Thursday when he
said the status of both players would be a game-time decision.
Abraham has missed the last month with a sprained right knee, and
said earlier this week he would only play if he was feeling 80
percent or better.
Chrebet sustained a mild concussion last weekend against St.
Louis. The 10-year veteran has a history of concussions, and missed
the final eight games of last season with postconcussion syndrome.
Tennessee Titans: Tennessee quarterback Billy Volek had surgery Friday to repair a severely separated throwing shoulder.
Volek was hit in the fourth quarter of the Titans' 24-19 victory over Detroit on Sunday, separating his right shoulder where the joint meets the clavicle. Coach Jeff Fisher said the injury affected Volek's throwing mechanics and rotator cuff.
Volek was to spend Friday night in the hospital, and his recovery is expected to take three to four months. He started eight games this season in place of Steve McNair, who had surgery to graft bone to his sternum last week.
New Orleans Saints:
The Saints said they
would be willing to push back the deadline the team had set for the
state to complete a renegotiation of the NFL club's Louisiana Superdome
After initially setting a Feb. 1 deadline, team officials said
in a written statement that they now would be willing to talk with
Gov. Kathleen Blanco's administration until March 1. But the team
said the new date was important because league meetings are
scheduled for March 20.
Saints owner Tom Benson has said he would like to bid for New
Orleans to host the Super Bowl in 2010 but needs to have a
long-term deal in New Orleans before the league will consider
bringing the NFL title game back to the stadium that has hosted it
seven times.
Blanco expects to present the state's latest proposal to the
Saints as early as next week.
An overview released by Blanco's office on Friday afternoon
outlined a nearly $170 million renovation of the Superdome, meant
to modernize the stadium in a way that will allow the Saints to
make much more money there.
Long-time broadcaster Diliberto dies
Saints radio commentator Buddy
Diliberto -- better known as "Buddy D" -- who listened to loyal
fans praise and berate the team and often offered a little colorful
advice of his own for the coaches, died Friday. He was 73.
Diliberto had been in failing health for some time and the cause
of death was an apparent heart attack, WWL-TV reported. In 1997, he
had bypass surgery following a series of heart attacks.
Diliberto began his career as a sportswriter for The
New Orleans Times-Picayune while attending Loyola University in 1950. He also
served as a correspondent for Stars and Stripes during the Korean
War and suffered shrapnel wounds that earned him a Purple Heart.
He later went on to broadcasting and served as sports director
and sports anchors for WVUE-TV and WDSU-TV before joining WWL radio
in 1991.
His career was almost as colorful as his commentary. Diliberto
was banned from the Saints' team plane for criticism of the
organization under their first owner, John Mecom. And it was Buddy
D who after a 1-15 season in 1980 established the "bagheads" -- fans who wear paper bags over their heads as a mark of shame. He
also promised fans he'd wear a dress if the Saints ever went to the
Super Bowl.

I'd like to restrict SMTP login for certain users to my Exchange 2010 servers. I've been looking at the receive connectors, but I can't find a way to remove the "Exchange Users" role from specific accounts. Anyone know of a way to do this?
Why are you wanting to do this? What are you trying to accomplish?
If you are wanting to prevent them from sending but still allow receiving you can just crank down their send limit.
In the mailbox properties, Mailbox Settings, Storage Quotas.
Uncheck the "use mailbox database defaults"
Set the "Prohibit Send" to something like 1MB.
That will prevent them from sending out email but they'll still be able to receive.
